Boehner responded, "Me? Blocking?" and laughed.-- Jorge Ramos SMACKDOWN on Immigration [View all]

Jorge Ramos Confronts John Boehner On Immigration (VIDEO)

"Mr. Speaker, we came here to ask you, why are you blocking immigration reform?" said Ramos, a TV anchor for the Spanish-language Univision and for Fusion.

Boehner responded, "Me? Blocking?" and laughed.

"Yes, you personally. Yeah, you could bring it to a vote and you haven't," Ramos said.

Ramos, who frequently speaks out for immigration reform, wasn't having any of it. "What does Obamacare have to do with immigration reform?" he demanded. "The Senate passed it almost a year ago and you haven't moved on that. Many people are questioning your leadership and your vision on this."

"You can do it. You haven't done it," he said. "You can do it, Mr. Speaker. You can do it and you really haven't done it."
